Based on those numbers I’d be surprised to not “find a single one who would be offended if their employer partnered with the military”.
Not only does that not even come close to aligning with the original claim, as barbazoo points out, but there is also a difference between having a "positive view of the military" and wanting to partner with them at work.
If we hadn't gone to Iraq, Afghanistan, and supported the Israelis, I imagine these numbers would be much higher with the young.
